Easley Criminal Lawyers

Rose Mary Parham has 16 years of experience as a trial lawyer and believes in aggressive, effective representation of her clients. She has a proven track record in both federal and state courts.

It is my goal to give each case the attention to detail it needs. I will not take on new cases at the expense of existing clients. The reality is there are only so many hours in a week. If I take on hundreds cases, I have less time to spend on each case than if I take on 25. If you want an attorney that will give you the attention you deserve, that can speak to you without a lot of legal jargon, that’s down-to-earth, and enjoys helping people, then please call 843-970-2929.
